- Duarte's protomolecule injection is slowly transforming him into something no longer fully human — the long-term effects are unpredictable
- The ring gates have a transit capacity limit — too many ships passing through too quickly triggers the dark entities that killed the Ring Builders
- Laconia's repair drones can resurrect dead organisms but the results are not truly alive in any conventional sense
- Married to Fayez Sarkis, who keeps her grounded with humor when the science gets terrifying
- Serves as head of Laconian science division — has access Duarte trusts no military officer with
